pattern
A graph structure written in Cypher, such as a node joined to another node by a relationship.
Also written: patterns
Example
A pattern three nodes wide.
cypher
MATCH path = (a:Person)-[:ACTED_IN]->(:Movie)<-[:DIRECTED]-(d:Person)
RETURN pathThe pattern is (a:Person)-[:ACTED_IN]->(:Movie)<-[:DIRECTED]-(d:Person). Two (:Person) nodes and one (:Movie), joined by an [:ACTED_IN] relationship and a [:DIRECTED] one, each drawn pointing the way it runs. The same pattern can be written into MERGE or CREATE as readily as into MATCH.
